Looks like my Gov Lock falls into the "works sometimes" category. We got some snow over the weekend and I decided to show the wife why I needed to spend a few hundred dollars on "a truck that works just fine". I stopped on a nice steep driveway that had been cleared and put one tire off in the snow....

Ok.. google is failing me or maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. I can't seem to find a rebuild kit for the Govlock \ G80 \ Eaton Locker for 7.xxx GM rear end. Is it only available from GM or am I looking in the wrong place?

I'll give the suggestions a try but I had the truck at full articulation a few months ago going through a ditch.

I have the G80 option code in the glove box. I do have some LSD going on in the rear end but on wheel lift I never get a full lock. The wheel off the ground just spins.

Never mind on the above company. Today I got this email today.

Hello, unfortunately we have cancelled your order. This item is on backorder for an extended period of time. No Charge has occurred.

I'm guessing their price was a little to cheep.

daevans315

I started popping the code this winter even after the PCM reflash for the 180 thermostat. I found the IAT relocator here. http://autotruckpart.com for $33.

Beware.. !!!FREE SHIPPING!!! is advertised, however there is $5 Handling

. Still cheeper than Jegs.

daevans315

AHHHHHH.. oh well.. whats $45... just a tank of gass. I'll try and remember you when the drivers side goes out.

daevans315

Well I swapped out the wheel bearing with the $140 autozone one. I was tempted to have autozone order the tiemkin $180 one but decided to give the off brand a try. I looked like decent build quality and the swap out took about 2 hours of work. There was a trip back to autozone to buy a 36mm deep wel...

daevans315

I'm thinking no go on the ebay ones. I asked "what is the brand name of the bearing and does it come with the anti-lock brake sensor" Here is the reply.

OE BRAND IS THE MAKE IF TE OEM HUB HADA ENSOR THIS ONE DOES ALSO

daevans315

Using the info on other threads I'm pretty sure my passenger wheel bearing is bad. With the links to the 'how to's' I'm pretty sure I can tackle the job with no problems. However, I still have two questions. 1. What do you think of these hub assemblies on Ebay? They have the same part number as the ...

My 97 S-10 with the Hypertech will not shift into OD over 98 mph either. The way its setup now it will run out of HP at about 115 and 5,500 RPM's in 3rd.

I got to go out and play just a little today. I think the BFG All Terrain TA's are an amazing tire.
